What a lot of miserable old buggers some of you are!

Anya yep! spot on.

Ooohhh heck!! Was it me? I hope I'm one of the latter ones.

Now I've made it all about me - think I'll stop digging.

I agree. But I do recognise that I often do not read all the posts on a thread. Sometimes things are so silly, boring, righteous or plain miserable and critical, that I can't be bothered to post. I stick to games or threads with kind , likeminded people like the LCHF one .

I am neither old or a bugger!

.......oh and definitely not miserable!

You ok, hon? ?

I was just thinking that Anya must be feeling better ffinochio, one of us must be right. I cannot see much difference on Gnet at the moment, there have always been some miserable old sods, some black-caters, helpful people etc, so why is today any different? (I look upon the Swedish death clean as a way of getting rid of crap, nothing too morbid!)

Guilty of some sins ?

"Miserable bugger" I will give you Anya but less of the old, eh?

Not just me feeling jaundiced this morning, then! ?

Anniebach I am sure Anya does not mean those that like yourself have genuine reasons to be sad and miserable. It is those that carp and whitter she dislikes

some of you , not some of US Anya?
Are you distancing yourself from “us” ( miserable old buggers) then?

BB, you have forgotten I am a miserable old bugger on discussions of a certain political party ?

Oh Annie just had a thought..... why don't you start a political thread and let rip.... while everyone is still being nice to you.

(I know Annie won't take offence at that... just before I am told off by someone)

Have to admit sometimes not reading a whole thread - usually when two posters are having a go at each other - I usually skip past their posts onto the rest of the thread.

I'm actually having a major problem with the clutter in my life [I really am getting close to being one of those people that appear in tv programmes about such stuff, because I literally can't throw things away and never have been able to]. So the Swedish death clean [or whatever it's called] is really helpful for me .

Oh dear, was it me?

I only said I wouldn't thank anyone for some extended CDs of Elvis or the Beatles these days .....
But I did come up with a suggestion!

Take your pick

Can't be talking about me I'm too boring and uninteresting to encite any of those criticisms. Anyone got any cake

Ah so everything’s normal then ? ?

"Or someone is asking for advice and off some of us go just talking about ourselves and ignoring the OP’s request."
I admit I'm often guilty of that one.
But Gransnet is the only forum I belong to where it seems to be OK to have a good moan.

I can't be old and miserable can I? I still swing from the chandeliers!

My dad used to call me a 'bugger up the back' when I was little because I was clumsy so maybe I should hold my hands up to that

I think Gransnet is what you get when you mix a group of articulate ladies and gents who have lived varied lives. Each brings their own views when they join a thread. Some dip in and out whilst others read every post...it's a personality thing. I don't think anyone is deliberately mean. We may not always agree with each other and sometimes it's fun to have a bit of a debate. But when the chips are down and the OP is from someone who needs total, unconditional support then that is what is given.

My late mum swore blind that she never swore

She didn't think "bugger" was a swear word. I think its one of the worst (I never say it), but that just my opinion.

Oh well I definitely come into Anya s gripe as I am trying to clear out clutter in my life, not because I think I m going to be kicking up the daisies anytime soon but because it will take me at least a decade to become a minimalistic
Don’t think I m a miserable old git though

One womans idea of clutter is another womans idea of treasure.
